Espacio Mínimo presents Alamandas, the second solo show by Mauro Piva (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1977) at the Madrid gallery. The proposal navigates through a universe with a strong natural presence, where connections between memory and spirituality—almost shamanic—emerge. From his own life experience, the Brazilian artist draws an environment built around remembrance, around the force and impact of the present upon the space one longs to return to, but which, in a certain sense, drifts away from the real.
